FORT MYERS — After four years, I may know "The Santaland Diaries" as well as anyone in Southwest Florida except for erstwhile Crumpet the Elf himself, Jason Parrish. So, I tell you, don't miss year four. And request seats on the West Wall.
I'll explain the seating arrangements later, but for now, let's meander through another year of that dark, demented place brought forth from the mind of humorist David Sedaris: Macy's Santaland. Come now, as we unwrap this glittering box of snark, tied with ribbons of laughter.
Sedaris read his essay about working as an elf at Macy's Herald Square in New York City on NPR in 1992. The piece was adapted for the stage as a one-man show by Joe Mantello. Florida Rep has offered the show, with Parrish in the lead role, each December since 2009. (Read the reviews: 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | Crumpet speaks)
"Santaland" hits - hard and fast - at crass consumerism, angry parents, uncouth behavior and snotty little brats. Holidays, with busy roads, crowded malls and way too many family members seems to bring out the worst in humanity; Sedaris catalogs it all with wit, verve, style and obvious glee. You'll never look at Christmas the same way again.
Yet, while the show drives a nail through horrible holiday happenings, "Santaland" slyly highlights the better parts of humanity. I dare you to retain a dry eye as Parrish tells of cheerful, unknown Santas who compliment mothers and daughters. Revel in the joy as Crumpet discovers his true family amidst the green velvet-bedecked flock at Macy's when the elves unite against the Christmas Eve hordes.
The Florida Rep production of "Santaland" has changed each year. An expanded ArtStage Studio Theatre sees this year's production performed in the round, a first. The innovation offers up rewards aplenty - and a few challenges.
Christopher T. Simpson reinvents the apartment set used for the previous two years. The former grungy, over-stuffed New York garret transforms into an airy, ultra-mod studio with sleek furnishings. A whopping fantastic copper light fixture (Tim Cobb) commands the space; it looks like a dozen calla lilies exploded in ecstasy. Tiny mementos from years past - like the "chocolate Santa" nestle into the nooks and crannies.
By now, with dozens of performances under his belt, Parrish knows the characters in "Santaland" backward and forward. In this fourth edition, some of the louder, more vividly drawn caricatures from the Sedaris prose rise to prominence.
My personal favorite still remains the sequence with uppity parents requesting Santas - whether black or white - for their kids. Neck rolls, clacking teeth, patting hair, facial gestures and dead-on accents allow Parrish to create indelible portraits of these people. You can almost imagine a hoity-toity African-American woman with a huge weave, a truckload of shopping bags and a cell phone glued to her ear demanding "uh Santuh of culuh" while snapping her fingers in front of the crowd.
Director Chris Clavelli returns for the third year. His sure hand remains evident in a skillful mastery of the set and a clever use of the space. Performing and presenting in the round represents no easy task. Clavelli moves the action in, out, up, down and around the expansive set with ease.
One of my favorite things about this year's show was a greater physicality than in years past - a gift afforded from the larger space. A minimalist arc floor lamp leaning over a desk creates an inviting doorway for Parrish to "peek" through, while a giant poof footstool offers a launchpad for histrionics that threaten to reach into the light grid.
Better, the completely re-imagined show forces Clavelli and Parrish to invent a way to involve the entire audience. Since Parrish always has his back to some part of the crowd, this "Santaland" includes exaggerated "reaction" shots. These succeed far better than they have a right to.
Anyone who's seen Jason Parrish on stage in one of Florida Rep's better farces - like the second act of "Noises Off," knows he makes funny faces for a living. Now, imagine a whole play filled with those looks of bewilderment at not being able to tell a group of New Yorkers from a special Macy's event for the profoundly retarded. Or envision the abject horror after a mother allows her son to pee in a fake snowbank. Go for the humor. Stay for the funny faces.
The Santaland Christmas tree does have a few burned-out bulbs. The in-the-round experience doesn't always deliver - no matter how hard Parrish works to engage every corner of the room. I love the expansive set, but I preferred the tighter, more intimate confines last year, when the show felt like a cozy fireside gathering with drinks and rum balls.
The show also feels slightly more deliberative. The need to deepen and lengthen the reactions in order to engage the crowd slows the action, if imperceptibly. As a result, "Santaland" brings a constant avalanche of laughs but never quite gets to the point of giddy, roll-in-the-snow excitement. I do wonder, too, whether year five might bring an update on the elf costume.
Finally, about those seating arrangements. There's a very special surprise waiting underneath the bench where Parrish stores part of his costume when he changes into Crumpet for the second half of the play. Ladies - and a few gents - you don't want to miss this one!
Elves, Santas and Cher, oh my! Email me, email@example.com.

Gonzalez Selected in First Round of MLB Draft
TULSA, Okla.-Junior pitcher Alex Gonzalez was the first Oral Roberts University player off the board as he was taken in the first round of the 2013 MLB First-Year Player Draft, Thursday night. Gonzalez was taken 23rd overall by the Texas Rangers.
"We are really excited for Alex," said first year Head Coach Ryan Folmar. "He has worked so hard for us the past three years and is deserving of this opportunity. The Rangers are a great organization and should he decide to sign, we will certainly wish him the best of luck."
During his three year career at ORU, Gonzalez amassed 23 wins and is fourth all-time in career strikeouts with 292. The 2013 Southland Conference Pitcher of the Year had a decorated career. As a freshman, Gonzalez earned NCBWA Freshman All-American honors and was the 2011 Summit League Pitcher and Newcomer of the Year. As a junior, he struck out 126 batters and walked just 27 and posted a career-best 1.83 ERA. The 126 strikeouts is the third most in a single season in ORU history, behind Michael Rogers (137 in 2001) and Mark Serrano (132 in 2009).
Gonzalez is the eighth ORU player ever selected in the first round, and the first since Bob Zupcic went to Boston in the 1987 draft with the 32nd overall pick. Mike Moore is the school's top draft pick, having been the No. 1 overall pick in the 1981 draft.
The MLB First-Year Player Draft will continue with rounds 3-40 on Friday and Saturday.

In other words, politics.
So it's refreshing to see legislation being written the way legislation should be.
Alabama law enforcement had a problem. Under state law, second-degree burglary is committed "when a person unlawfully enters a lawfully occupied residence with intent to commit a theft or felony inside." Well, that should be illegal.
The problem, however, is that "lawfully occupied" is interpreted to mean the homeowner is home. So burglars wait until the homeowner leaves and then breaks in. If the burglar is caught, the crime is considered third-degree burglary and the punishment is considerably less. The milder the penalty, the more willing burglars are to take the chance.
The Alabama Fraternal Order of Police legislative committee recognized the problem and came up with a plan to change the law so that it would read that if someone "enters a livable dwelling-house whether occupied or not with intent to commit a theft or a felony therein," it would be second-degree burglary. The committee asked Rep. Randy Wood, R-Anniston, to review their idea and prepare a bill that would address the problem.
Rep. Wood did just that and the bill will be introduced in the Legislature this month.
This page urges our representatives and senators to support the measure.
This page also commends the Fraternal Order of Police and Wood for showing us, once again, how our legislative system is supposed to work. Little fanfare or hype. A problem recognized and a problem addressed.
This is how it should be done.

7005 4th St N # 3, St Petersburg, FL | Directions 3370227.835968 -82.638150
I could not agree more with the previous reviewer (R.M.). Healthy Being Wellness Center is run by the wicked witch of St Pete (Melissa: the owner). Do not trust her to return your call, keep your appointment or refund your money. TERRIBLY run spa.
CHOOSE ANY OTHER SPA BUT THIS ONE!!! – For what it's worth, I have never written a bad review about a business before.
For Valentine's Day, my boyfriend bought a $195 gift certificate for a series of 3 acupuncture treatments. At that time he discussed with the owner (Melissa) the packages and what each entailed. Everything seemed great. The following day, I called SEVERAL times to set an appointment...every time, receiving a voice mail. Two days later the acupuncturist called back, only to advise that she wasn't aware of any acupuncture package. Nor was she familiar with the procedure that had been explained by the owner to my boyfriend. I advised that Melissa had said that the first treatment was to last approx 1.5 hours -- to which she responded that the 1st hour would be us discussing my health, medical problems, and desired results. AN HOUR?!??!! This was hardly the spa experience I'd expected. The acupuncturist further stated that she was only available 3x per week, all of which conflicted with my work schedule. Nevertheless, because I already had the gift certificate, I scheduled an apt (where I would have to leave work early). Shortly after setting the apt, I received an email requesting that I complete a 9 PAGE questionnaire/health intake form prior to my appointment. 9 PAGES!!! This isnt standard procedure for spas, and quite frankly, much too intrusive.
For these reasons, I was no longer interested in treatment at this spa. I called to cancel my appointment that Wednesday, Thurs, AND Friday, leaving NUMEROUS messages. Polite at first, then progressively more frustrated. The owner, Melissa finally called me back Friday evening. She took no responsibility for the myriad of things that had gone wrong, and in fact faulted everyone at her spa stating that they didn't know what they were doing, or weren't supposed to be setting appointments, etc. Despite her unprofessional manner, she finally agreed to refund the value of the gift certificate. When I attempted to provide her with my boyfriends credit card information, she refused to take it from me, stating that he would have to personally call. He called immediately after we'd hung up. And the next day. And every day the following week. Leaving messages on the voice mail, and with the receptionist, to no avail. To date I have not been refunded. And in fact, just received an email ...confirming the appointment I've tried to cancel for weeks now. This place is the absolutely worst.

Dental erosion
To determine the influence of oral hygiene practices and additional fluoride on erosive tooth wear in eating disorders. The proportional dietary intake of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins was also investigated.
Tooth wear was measured with the use of the tooth wear index (TWI).
Oral hygiene practices between subjects with and without severe erosion were not significantly different. Only 8 bulimics spent more time brushing after vomiting than at other times. The pH of vomitus from 6 subjects ranged between 2.9 and 5.0, with a mean of 3.8, well below the critical pH for enamel demineralization to occur. Of the 20 follow-up subjects, 12 (60%) exhibited worsening tooth wear.
The contribution by toothbrush abrasion to the overall wear in the eroded dentition of bulimics is not significant. Therefore, immediate post-vomiting oral hygiene practices can be recommended. The proportional nutritional intake values of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in this group of bulimics are acceptable.
Milosevic A et al., Dental erosion, oral hygiene, and nutrition in eating disorders. Int J Eat Disord, 1997 Mar, 21:2, 195-9.
Diaphragmatic function
The effects of malnutrition and refeeding on nutritional indices, pulmonary function, and diaphragmatic contractile properties were studied in severely malnourished patients with anorexia nervosa. Diaphragmatic function is severely impaired in malnuorished patients.
"Diaphragmatic function in severely malnourished patients with anorexia nervosa. Effects of renutrition." Murciano-D; Rigaud-D; Pingleton-S; Armengaud-MH; Melchior-JC; Aubier-M. Am-J-Respir-Crit-Care-Med. 1994 Dec; 150(6 Pt 1): 1569-74.
A case of anorexia nervosa (AN) is reported where heart failure occurred secondary to severe hypophosphatemia despite oral phosphate supplementation. We recommend starting patients with AN on oral phosphate when refeeding is begun, monitoring serum phosphate every 1 to 2 days for at least the first week of refeeding, and discontinuation of refeeding during phosphate supplementation should severe hypophosphatemia develop.
Birmingham CL et al., Anorexia nervosa: refeeding and hypophosphatemia. Int J Eat Disord, 1996 Sep, 20:2, 211-3.
Diet Pills
Users of widely prescribed diet pills may suffer irreversible loss of brain serotonin nerve terminals, possibly resulting in symptoms of anxiety, depression, and cognitive and sleep problems, suggests the first author of a recently published report on fenfluramine side effects. Una McCann, MD, Chief of Anxiety Disorders Research in the National Institute of Mental Health, Biological Psychiatry Branch (Bethesda, Md.) and colleagues, reported on their review of 90 animal studies on serotonin neurotoxicity and primary pulmonary hypertension from fenfluramine and its chemical cousin dexfenfluramine in the August 27, 1997, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
An estimated 50 million people have taken the drugs, often in combination with phentermine (hence "fen/phen"), an amphetamine-like diet drug that counteracts the fenfluramines' tendency to induce drowsiness. The study cautions that if the animal findings apply to humans, the brain damage "would be expected to occur in almost everyone taking a dose sufficient to achieve weight loss."
"I think there is cause for concern that people who take fenfluramines are at risk for a host of problems," says McCann. "A dose comparable to that prescribed to reduce weight in humans causes neurotoxicity in monkeys . . . Many people who try diet pills quickly regain their weight after they stop taking the drugs, so they might be tempted to continue taking them. We won't know the long-term risks of these drugs until controlled studies are completed in humans."
In one study reviewed, monkeys' brains continued to show signs of damage 17 months after taking a course of the drug. Much like the branches of a tree, neurons contain extensions called axons that transport messenger chemicals like serotonin and form synapses--connections with other neurons. Fenfluramines damage serotonin-secreting neurons by pruning these axons, which do not grow back in monkeys, although studies show that they do in rodents. And since human brains are more like those of monkeys, any such damage in humans would also likely be permanent, according to McCann.
"However, the neurotoxic potential of fenfluramines in humans has not been systematically evaluated . . . the functional consequences of brain serotonin neurotoxicity are largely unknown [even though the neurotransmitter is thought to be important] in a variety of brain functions, including cognition and memory and the regulation of mood, anxiety, impulsivity, aggression, sleep and neuroendocrine function," write the researchers.
McCann cites case reports that some users have experienced psychiatric disorders, which, she points out, tend to be underdiagnosed in clinical practice. Studies also document that fenfluramines increase the risk for developing primary pulmonary hypertension, a rare but incurable and life-threatening illness.
The researchers advise doctors to be vigilant about identifying both behavioral and cardiopulmonary side effects, and they recommend that patients be apprised of the risks and benefits of fenfluramines for weight loss.

To explore the role of life events and difficulties in the onset of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa and to find out whether events and difficulties with a specific meaning, i.e. those of a certain sexual nature, are important in the onset of anorexia nervosa.
Anorexic patients, bulimic patients and community controls did not differ in proportion of patients with at least one severe event; however, significantly more AN and BN patients than community controls had experienced a major difficulty. Sixty-seven per cent of anorexics and 76% of bulimia nervosa patients had either a severe event or a marked difficulty during the year before onset.
In AN and BN the most common serious life stresses before onset concerned close relationships with family and friends with BN patients being significantly more often than AN patients directly involved in the problem (interpersonal events). Patients with anorexia nervosa had significantly more pudicity events before onset than BN patients or community controls.
While serious life stresses commonly precede the onset of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, problems with sexuality seem to be specific in triggering the onset of anorexia nervosa.
Schmidt U et al., Is there a specific trauma precipitating anorexia nervosa? Psychol Med, 27(3):523-30 1997 May.
Past research has shown that women with eating disorders commonly display clinical elevations on several scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI; Hathaway & McKinley, 1983), so the MMPI may be useful for the differentiation of women with Anorexia Nervosa from those with Bulimia Nervosa.
In this study, 116 women diagnosed with either Bulimia Nervosa or Anorexia Nervosa completed the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (Butcher, Dahlstrom, Graham, Tellegen, & Kaemmer, 1989).
Multivariate analyses failed to reveal any differences among the diagnostic subtypes. Consideration of profile code types was suggestive of possible group differences that mirror those discussed in previous literature on the personality features of women with eating disorders.
Pryor T & Wiederman MW: Use of the MMPI-2 in the outpatient assessment of women with Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia Nervosa. J Pers Assess, 66(2):363-73 1996 Apr.
Food preferences
To determine whether eating disordered patients and controls differ in 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS) ratings of liking and desire to eat 50 common foods and whether ratings differ according to caloric or macronutrient content of the foods.
All patient groups rated their desire to eat high-calorie foods significantly lower than their desire to eat low-calorie foods whereas controls rated their desire to eat high- and low-calorie foods equally. Patients also differed from controls more in ratings of desire to eat than in liking when foods were classified according to macronutrient content.
Differences in the way patients and controls perceive foods should be borne in mind during the treatment process. Furthermore, since patients had not completely normalized by discharge, treatment strategies should emphasize acceptance of foods varying in macronutrient and caloric content, as intake of a varied diet is of key importance in regaining and maintaining good health.
Stoner SA et al., Food preferences and desire to eat in anorexia and bulimia nervosa. Int J Eat Disord, 1996 Jan, 19:1, 13-22.
Food selection
The food selection and nutrient intake were investigated in women with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and controls.
Dietary data was obtained by 24-hour recall, and 7-day recording among eating disordered patients, and by 3-day registration among controls.
The intake of energy and nutrients differed from controls, as expected, while there were no differences between anorectics and bulimics in this respect, except for iron. There were only minor differences among the three groups studied with respect to nutrient density. Energy percentages of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, were similar in all groups, but a subdivision of the macronutrients into respective sources showed that bulimics had a lower relative and absolute intake of carbohydrates from bread and cereals than anorectics and controls.
Eating disorder patients, despite their marginal food intake, still met the minimum requirement for most nutrients according to the Nordic Nutrient recommendations.
van der Ster Wallin G et al., Food selection in anorectics and bulimics: food items, nutrient content and nutrient density. J Am Coll Nutr, 1995 Jun, 14:3, 271-7.
The effect of starvation-related malnutrition on muscle performance and on the energy cost of exercise remains unknown, as does the timing of improvement by refeeding. Indeed, in most diseases that induce malnutrition, muscle dysfunction is worsened by an inflammatory process.
Thus, physical performance and the energy cost of exercise were studied in 15 semistarvated malnourished anorexia nervosa (AN) patients during exercise on an ergometric bicycle (3-min steps of 30 W) before and after 8, 30, and 45 d of refeeding.
The performance improved dramatically during refeeding, reaching normal values after 45 d of refeeding, despite fat-free mass and leg muscle circumference values that were still 20% lower in AN patients than in control subjects.
At this time, the exercise-related VO2 remained unchanged, being approximately 25% lower than that of the control subjects when corrected for muscle mass differences.
In AN patients muscle performance was restored by refeeding long before the patients achieved normal nutritional status. The economic cost of physical activity for these malnourished patients allows them to maintain a relatively high level of physical activity. This relative overactivity has two goals in AN: it reinforces anorexia and contributes to the excess of energy expenditure needed for weight loss.
Rigaud D et al., Refeeding improves muscle performance without normalization of muscle mass and oxygen consumption in anorexia nervosa patients. Am J Clin Nutr, 1997 Jun, 65:6, 1845-51.
Nutritional management
The importance of weight restoration has been well documented. Despite the importance of nutritional rehabilitation, few controlled studies that address the clinical efficacy of various dietary treatment regimens have been conducted.
Nutritional disorder of anorexia nervosa: a review. Rock-CL; Curran-Celentano-J. Int-J-Eat-Disord. 1994 Mar; 15(2): 187-203.
Nutritional management
Abnormal nutritional status and dietary patterns are central features of the eating disorders. Normalization of these features are key components of treatment and recovery because they are powerful perpetuating factors. Restrictive diets, fat avoidance, and abnormal cognitive and perceptual patterns are typically present, in addition to altered nutritional parameters because of hormonal and metabolic factors.
The primary goal of nutrition intervention in the patient with anorexia nervosa is to promote weight gain through increased energy intake, expansion of the diet, and knowledgeable and empathetic dietary counseling. A regular pattern of nutritionally balanced, planned meals and snacks, and the avoidance of restrictive dieting, are essential elements of treatment for the patient with bulimia nervosa.
As a member of the multidisciplinary treatment team, the dietitian or nutrition professional with knowledge of nutritional science, counseling skills, and a nonjudgmental attitude can provide expertise in this area.
Rock CL & Curran-Celentano J Nutritional management of eating disorders. Psychiatr Clin North Am, 1996 Dec, 19:4, 701-13.
To assess a new computer-based method of health education ("DIET") for patients with bulimia and anorexia nervosa.
The DIET group members were significantly improved when compared to the placebo group in terms of both their knowledge and attitudes towards their disorder. The patients rated the DIET program as being both easy to use and helpful.
The DIET program has been found to be a resource-efficient means of health education for patients with eating disorders. Further research is required to assess whether the program has therapeutic effects in terms of behavioural improvement.
Andrewes DG et al., Computerised psychoeducation for patients with eating disorders. Aust N Z J Psychiatry, 1996 Aug, 30:4, 492-7.
Therapy (1)
Twenty-two female patients with anorexia nervosa, restricted type, 14-35 years old, were treated with a 4-month course of combined cognitive-behavioral therapy, nutritional counselling and antidepressant drugs (nortriptyline for 7, fluoxetine for 15).
Patients were monitored for body mass index (BMI), for eating disorder symptoms by the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) and the Bulimic Investigation Test (BITE) and for depression and anxiety by the Hamilton Rating Scales for Depression and for Anxiety (HRS-D and -A). The scores were determined before and after 1, 2 and 4 months of therapy.
BMI, depression, anxiety and EDI scores improved significantly and equally in both groups during the 4 months of therapy, while BITE scores did not change.
Brambilla F et al., Combined cognitive-behavioral, psychopharmacological and nutritional therapy in eating disorders. 1. Anorexia nervosa--restricted type. Neuropsychobiology, 1995, 32:2, 59-63.
Therapy (2)
Research was conducted to obtain a profile of nutrition therapy currently in practice for patients with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and anorexia/bulimia (mixed diagnosis) and to identify the areas of dietetics education and research regarding eating disorders that need more attention.
Nutrition therapy administered varied among dietitians treating inpatients, outpatients, and both. Three community groups were identified as most important to reach for prevention of eating disorders: junior high school students, coaches, and parents. Crucial areas of research were perceived by 94 dietitians to be comparative effectiveness of techniques of medical nutrition therapy (n = 55) and of techniques of prevention (n = 26) and increased understanding of etiology in relation to identification of high-risk groups and prevention (n = 21). Dietitians desired further information on multiple topics related to eating disorders.
Medical nutrition therapy for eating disorders is a specialization that requires education and training beyond the minimum required for dietetic registration. Some of the techniques required are unique to this specialization due, in part, to the psychological nature of the disorders. All dietitians, however, must be able to recognize and refer patients with eating disorders; these skills must be included in basic undergraduate programs and internships.

Many reports describe the difficulty for anorexia nervosa patients to gain weight during refeeding. To assess whether an increase in diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) participates to this resistance, we studied DIT by indirect calorimetry in 11 severely malnourished anorexia nervosa patients for two purposes:
1) to compare DIT in a strict semistarvation state with that obtained after 1 wk refeeding, when metabolism is shifted to a dynamic trend toward regaining weight, without significant change in body composition;
2) to study the effect on DIT of two energetic loads representing each one-third of the energy intake during semistarvation and refeeding, respectively: 1.25 and 2.92 MJ. To avoid bias, the two liquid loads were infused intragastrically in a random double-blind fashion.
A significant increase in DIT during refeeding was observed for the two loads (204 +/- 23 kJ for the 1.25-MJ liquid meal and 482 +/- 78 kJ for the 2.92-MJ one). The higher the load, the larger the increase with refeeding.
This increment in DIT exceeded the increase in active lean body mass and was poorly correlated with lean body mass.
These results provide clear evidence of a strong cellular "waste" mechanism in anorexia nervosa patients during the early phase of refeeding, which enhances the adaptative resistance to overfeeding that we have already shown for resting energy expenditure.

Zinc Deficiency
Twenty-six children with anorexia nervosa were evaluated through a specialized eating disorder program at a children's hospital. Zinc deficiency was found common by measuring 24 hour fasting plasma zinc levels and 24 hour urinary excretion using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The reintroduction of a normal diet resulted in a normalizing of zinc levels and weight to height ratios. A trial of zinc supplementation was attempted by using a 12-week, double-blind crossover design. It was done with 6 weeks on a placebo and 6 weeks on treatment.
Zinc sulfate at 50 mgs was given orally each day. Of the 7 trials of zinc supplementation, only 3 were completed. An inadequate intake of oral zinc threatened the health of the remaining 4. The authors conclude that low levels of zinc are common in patients with anorexia nervosa. Low zinc levels can be rapidly normalized without zinc supplementation with the introduction of a diet. Low zinc levels are related to self-starvation.
"Zinc Deficiency and Child-Onset Anorexia Nervosa", Lask, Bryan, MD, et al, Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, February 1993;54:2:63-66.
Zinc and Vegetarianism
Zinc deficiency and anorexia nervosa have similar symptoms including weight loss, changes in appetite and taste, depression and amenorrhea. Zinc deficiency and anorexia nervosa is most common in young females. Approximately half the women with anorexia nervosa are vegetarians. Young women with anorexia nervosa who are also vegetarians increase their risk of becoming deficient in zinc. Evaluating 3-day dietary records of 20 consecutive female anorexic outpatients 15 to 46 years of age, showed zinc and other nutrient levels in the vegetarians were lower than nonvegetarians, except for the caloric intake of carbohydrates, which was higher in vegetarians. The high levels of physical activity characteristic of women with anorexia nervosa may be greater for vegetarians, increasing the risk of zinc deficiency. Most vegetarian anorexics do not have an adequate dietary intake of zinc or the nutrients enhancing zinc absorption.
Zinc can be lost through perspiration with intense physical activity. Zinc absorption can also be impaired through changes in gastrointestinal function. Iron supplementation without need, occurring in some women with anorexia nervosa, may affect zinc status. Inorganic iron consumed without meat may reduce the bioavailability of zinc and decrease zinc retention. The authors advise vegetarians with eating disorders to implement good nutritional management and perhaps mineral supplements to help the quality and bioavailability of zinc in their diets.
"Anorexia Nervosa, Vegetarianism and Zinc. Supply, Absorption are Reduced", Nutrition and the MD, June 1993;3.
Zinc, Vegetarian and Nonvegetarian Patients
This study evaluated the dietary intake of zinc and other nutrients in nine outpatients, suffering from vegetarian, anorexia nervosa. Eleven nonvegetarian anorexia nervosa patients were also studied. Vegetarian anorexia nervosa patients had significantly lower dietary intakes of zinc, fat, and protein, and significantly higher intakes of calories from carbohydrates than the nonvegetarian anorexic patients. The authors concluded zinc should be routinely assessed in vegetarian anorexic patients, and zinc supplementation in the diets may be indicated. It is noted that young women who are on vegetarian diets to lose weight, should be educated regarding potential problems with zinc status on a meatless diet.
"Dietary Zinc Intake of Vegetarian and Nonvegetarian Patients With Anorexia Nervosa," Bakan, Rita, et al, International Journal of Eating Disorders, 1993;13(2):229-233.
Bone loss is a potentially debilitating condition in women with eating disorders. Complications may include failure to achieve peak bone mass, increased risk of premature fractures, and inability to reach the height potential
Evaluated 58 women with anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia (BUL) and anorexia/bulimia (AB), comparing bone mineral density (BMD) to physical parameters, biochemical indices, and markers for bone formation and resorption.
BMDs were significantly lower in patients with AN than in those with AB and BUL, and overt osteopenia was uncommon in AB and BUL.
Hypercortisolism was the best laboratory marker to assess the risk of osteopenia in patients with AN.
Although the prognosis for complete recovery to normal BMD is poor, treatment of the underlying depressive disorder, improvement in nutrition with increased weight, and spontaneous resumption of menses are associated with restoring bone health.
Carmichael KA & Carmichael DH Bone metabolism and osteopenia in eating disorders. Medicine (Baltimore), 1995 Sep, 74:5, 254-67.
Leptin levels & Anorexia
Leptin plays an important role in reproductive function.
Hypothesized that low leptin synthesis is associated with amenorrhea. Therefore determined serum leptin levels in 43 underweight female students, who were screened for lifetime occurrence of amenorrhea. Assessed the predictive value of leptin, body mass index (BMI), fat mass and percent body fat, respectively, for lifetime occurrence of amenorrea.
Furthermore, the relationships between serum leptin levels and of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol and progesterone, respectively, were evaluated.
Only leptin predicted lifetime occurrence of amenorrhea in the student cohort. The critical leptin level was in the range of 1.85 micrograms L-1. This level served to largely separate anorectic from bulimic patients. In patients with AN mean serum log10 leptin levels over the first 4 weeks of inpatient treatment were correlated with mean FSH, LH and estradiol levels, respectively. Evidently, a critical leptin level is needed to maintain menstruation.
In affluent populations eating disorders are likely to be a major cause of a low leptin synthesis.
Kopp W et al., Low leptin levels predict amenorrhea in underweight and eating disordered females [see comments]. Mol Psychiatry, 1997 Jul, 2:4, 335-40.

U.S. business travel spending growth slowed during the tail end of 2012 due to political and economic uncertainty, but 2013 spending should see modest growth, according to a new report.
The Global Business Travel Association's outlook forecasts U.S. business travel to rise 4.6 percent in 2013 to $266.7 billion, fueled by growth in international outbound travel and group travel for meetings and events.
"While companies will approach the first half of the year with some caution, pent-up demand to get back on the road should hopefully fuel accelerating growth in business travel spending through the end of 2013," said Michael W. McCormick, the association's executive director, in a release. (Read more: Travelers to Pay More for Services in 2013)
Among the key growth drivers for travel in 2013:
- International travel spending is projected to rise 5.9 percent
- Group travel spending is forecast to gain 5.2 percent
U.S. business travel spending for 2012 is estimated at $254.9 billion, according to the report sponsored by Visa. The spending increase was mainly due to the rising cost of airfares, car rentals and other travel services.

West Aurora district shifting boundaries for middle school
By Matt Brennan For The Beacon-News November 8, 2012 6:52PM
Updated: December 14, 2012 6:06AM
AURORA — Parents of about 200 middle school students on the near West Side of Aurora will be receiving a letter in the mail notifying them that their children will be attending a different middle school next school year.
The boundary changes are an effort to balance attendance between the district's four middle schools, according to Pete Kerl, assistant superintendent for operations. If no changes were made, Herget and Jefferson middle schools would have enrollments of about 800 students, while Washington would have 520.
"As you can see by these numbers, we will have an imbalance that needs to be addressed," he said.
The boundary proposal will also be discussed at the Nov. 19 and Dec. 3 School Board meetings. There will also be three informational meetings in mid November for parents and students impacted by the change.
Parents and students impacted by the move from Herget to Washington can attend a meeting at 6 p.m. Monday at Washington Middle School. Parents and students impacted by the move from Hall to Freeman elementary schools can attend a meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Freeman Elementary School. Parents and students impacted by the move from Jefferson to Washington can attend an informational meeting at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Washington Middle School.
Herget Middle School Principal Rachel Hattendorf and Jefferson Middle School Principal Pat Cross both said that overcrowding would have a detrimental impact on their buildings, and that neither was designed to hold 800 students.
"None of us want to lose kids, but it's something that we have to look at," Cross said.

Qualcomms Krait Dual-core MSM8960 Processor Sampled Ahead of Schedule, Could See Device Time This Year?
On 07.21.11, In News, by Kellex
Qualcomm had some time in the last few days and noticed a couple of key points that were made about their next generation dual-core Krait processor. Apparently, they have pushed up production to have these chipsets out to sampling far ahead of time which means we could see them in devices by the end of the year. In fact, their CEO said specifically, Our first 28-nanometer device will really go commercial at the end of this calendar year.
For those not familiar with Krait (MSM8960), well do our best to try to explain it. The MSM8960 is Qualcomms next dual-core processor that can potentially reduce power consumption by up to 75%. Think about that stat for a second yeah, Im ready for one too. This processor may also be more efficient or at least perform better than the NVIDIAs Kal-el quad-core, but Im not a big enough hardware guru to confirm that stance.
The point though, is that the MSM8960 will likely make even the HTC EVO 3D and Sensation (which sport Qualcomms newest dual-core chips) look like chumps, and they were both released within the last month. So we could have devices sporting Krait, Kal-el and the new OMAP4470 processors all by the end of the year. If that doesnt get you feeling a little saucy this morning, then I dont know what will.

Duffin Blows Away the Field, Saints Take 4th Place at Tanglewood
Contact: Steve Cunha, firstname.lastname@example.com
CLEMMONS, NC – Howard Duffin continued his record setting fall campaign on Tuesday afternoon, carding a two-under-par 68 in the final round of the 54-hole Will Wilson Intercollegiate to help the North Georgia men's golf team leap frog past four schools into fourth place.
In the final round of tournament the Saints improved their aggregate score by 20 strokes, carding a school record 280, giving them a three-round total of 875 (295-300-280). The single round score of 280 tops the previous team-low by five shots and it was the first time in program history that the team finished a round with an aggregate score of par or better.
The 54-hole score was also a school record for North Georgia, topping the previous total of 889 achieved last fall at the Will Wilson Intercollegiate by 14 strokes.
Carson-Newman shot a final round aggregate score of 284 to move from third to first en route to a two-shot victory of Wingate University, while UNC Pembroke finished in third, four strokes off the pace. North Georgia and Newberry rounded out the top five.
Heading into the final round, North Georgia sat in eighth place with only eight shots between them and fourth place Newberry College. The Saints third round team score was the lowest in the nine team field and catapulted them past Queen's University, Peach Belt foe USC Aiken, Belmont Abbey and Newberry into fourth place.
Howard Duffin cruised to a three-stroke victory, carding a two-under-par 68 in the final round to bring his three-round total to a three-under-par 207 (70-69-68). Jonathan Kim-Moss of Carson-Newman finished second, while Wingate's Brian Denton and Clifford Blanquicet tied for third. Matt Atkins of USC Aiken and Liam Ashby of Carson-Newman tied for fifth place.
Duffin's individual victory was his first since a head-to-head match against the university of Dayton in March of 2010 and was the third victory of his career. He was also the first Saints player to earn individual honors since Bryson Womack won the Mountain Lion Invitational last October.
Duffin's record-setting day did not end there. This was only the second time in the program's three-year history that a player won a tournament longer than one round and it was the first time in school history a player shot even-par or better in a 54-hole tournament.
For the tournament, Duffin recorded a team-high 10 birdies and 37 pars, while finishing under-par for the third time this fall.
Duffin was not the only North Georgia player making moves in the final round. Grant Rish continues to improve at the start of his sophomore campaign, firing a one-under-par 69 to bring his three-round total to 221 (76-76-69), which was left him in a tie for 17th place. For the tournament Rish recorded seven birdies.
Rish's third round score was his lowest single round score at North Georgia and it was the third round this fall which he has even-par or better, a feat he did not accomplish during his freshman year.
Will Brackett saw the biggest improvement in the 50-man field following up a 14-over-par 84 with an even-par 70. This was Brackett's first round at par or better for the Saints and it helped him finish in a tie for 46th place. In just his fifth round of the fall, Brackett became the second freshman on the North Georgia men's golf team to shoot even-par or better in a round.
The other freshman to do so was Aaron George, who got off to hot start, but fizzled towards the end of the second 54-hole tournament of his collegiate career. George wrapped at the 2011 Will Wilson Intercollegiate with an eight-over-par 78 to bring his three-round total to 223 (69-76-78), which was good enough for a share of 22nd place.
Bryson Womack fired his lowest round of the fall, carding a three-over-par 73 in the third round. The 73 tops his previous low of 79, which he has done several times this fall, by six shots. With his final round score, Womack jumped six spots from 46th to a tie for 40th place.
The 2011 Will Wilson Intercollegiate was contested at the 18-hole Championship course at the Tanglewood Golf Club, which features just over 7,000 yards of course and is a par 70. The course rating is 74.5 and it has a slope rating of 140 on Bermuda grass.
North Georgia returns to the links for their final tournament of the fall on November 1, when they travel to Florida to compete in the Queen's University Invitational contest at the Dye's Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass.

Maria Anderson
Maria is an Ambassador who studied abroad in Galway
Why did you choose to study abroad and how did you decide on this program?
I actually transferred to St. Ben's because I knew I wanted to gain global experience while still being able to complete my intended major in four years. I knew that studying abroad would widen my perspectives while allowing me to make connections with other Bennies and Johnnies that I would not have met. I decided on the Galway program for many reasons. I loved the idea of living in quaint cottages on the Galway Bay. Likewise, after hearing about the wonderful Foyle family, I was drawn into the program. I knew that I wanted to make lasting connections with those I met from Ireland. Finally, the Galway program has so many planned excursions that I knew I could leave Ireland feeling like I saw it all! And after a semester spent along side the Galway Bay, I can attest that transferring and deciding to journey to Galway was easily the most worthwhile decision of my college years thus far.
Briefly describe a specific cultural experience you had on your trip that made a lasting impression.
It is required when abroad, to complete an experiential learning project. Myself and another Dietetics student decided to work in the Lodge's kitchen with Geraldine Foyle. Spending time with her and learning how to make Irish foods was easily a highlight of my semester. One afternoon, Geraldine asked us to help cater food at a funeral in Spiddal. She had prepared the food and all we need to do was deliver the food and arrange it on the tables. This seemed easy enough! But to our surprise, when we arrived everyone was speaking Irish and had no interest in speaking English with us! We pieced together their gestures and figured out where to place the food! That cultural experience placed me in a situation where I did not feel comfortable initially. Yet, after getting back to the kitchen I realized how exciting and empowering communicating in a different language is.
Describe your overall study abroad experience.
Wow. My overall experience was absolutely wonderful. I learned an incredible amount from the Foyle family, my professors and my fellow Bennies and Johnnies. The Foyle family at Park Lodge is unbelievably hospital and make you feel like the Lodge is your home. The excursions every weekend allowed me to see all of Ireland while applying what I learned in lecture that week to the historic and cultural sites on the weekend.
Based on your experiences abroad, what are some of the benefits of spending a semester abroad? How has studying abroad contributed to your personal, academic, and professional development?
While in Ireland I realized some of the benefits of being abroad, yet it wasn't until a few weeks back that it really sunk in. Studying abroad allowed me to really harness my love for exploration and learning. Learning and exploring are important to me in any aspect of life. Likewise, navigating winding cobblestone roads or asking locals directions instilled me a sense of confidence that I will carry through my school work and personal life. Finally, being abroad widened my view of the world. It has allowed me to understand some of the differences in the world. Understanding differences and learning how to work with them will significantly contribute to my professional career.
What advice can you offer for CSB/SJU students who are considering or planning to study abroad?
The choice to study abroad will be one of the most exciting decisions you will make at St. Ben's and St. John's. Do not be afraid to ask questions from those who have gone on different programs to find out what program seems like a good fit for you. Many times study abroad planning can seem stressful, between the application and purchasing plane tickets; don't let it stress you out! It is a wonderful experience. Before you know it, you will be back on campus after a wonderful semester filled with the same excitement as I am now!

I started using findagrave to help me with my family tree. It provided me with so much information from other contributors and volunteers. I, along with my husband, Curtis, decided that this was an excellent idea to help others and to simply record graves so that people would not be forgotten. We love this site and are so pleased with helping others. A very big thanks to the creator of this site and all the volunteers....

May I use the photo you added to the Charles Neal Winkles Find A Grave memorial for his profile on my Ancestry.com site? Neal was the son of my paternal great aunt, Georgia "Lizzie" Camp, whose brother was my grandfather. Do you happen to know where she is buried? I have created a memorial for her father, Charles J Camp and two of her sisters.
Thank you very much,

You are quite welcome. I haven't had a chance to see who is memorialized in the cemetery yet, but I did mange to photograph the cemetery in its entirety. Very many of the graves have been heavily damaged and are beyond repair, some are in trees. Literally. Several of the Burgin and McDaniel family stones are included. The cemetery was hit in the storms that came through on April 27th, 2011.

I just found the pictures of Virgel Mealer at Burnt Mountain Baptist Cemetery that you posted in October 2011. You had said you were attending the family reunion in September and would see what you could find. Thanks so much, Barb, for all your hard work. I have looked and looked and looked for any info other than the 1900 Federal Census and just couldn't get anywhere...it's so hard when you live in another state and can't run to libraries and court houses, etc. so I thank God every day for the Ancestry.com members and FindAGrave volunteers who take the time to care about others' families....please, keep in touch and if you ever need anything in my area, don't hesitate, okay????

Four things we learned from the Bernabeu
Fergie is in his element
The difference between Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho in their pre-match press conferences was astounding. While Mourinho was all monosyllabic sulking, Fergie was chuckling away about Wayne Rooney's linguistic prowess.
To think Fergie was 71 just a few weeks ago boggles the mind. He clearly loves every minute of this match-up. The size of the clubs, the quality of the manager in the opposing dugout, the players on the pitch -- everything about this tie is to his liking.
- Fergie: Playing Vidic was risky
Every season there is an ongoing debate about who is going to replace the great man when he eventually retires. In the meantime, it makes more sense to watch the wily genius enjoy the peak of his profession.
Beware of crosses
It seems such an old-fashioned weakness for teams as accomplished as these to have but it can't be ignored. Cristiano Ronaldo's improbable header and the individual impishness of Danny Welbeck provided the aesthetic highlights of the first leg. The goalscorers profited from this avenue at both ends and it seems likely that another goal will come from this route at Old Trafford.
Mesut Ozil is a constant danger down the flank and the tendencies of Patrice Evra and Rafael to bomb forward will be exploited if succumbed to. Perhaps the focus on having accomplished ball players all over the park has negated the need to simply pick big fellas in defence.
United's corner takers on Wednesday were Rooney and Robin van Persie, both primary strikers. Their training is to hit the ball with speed and precision. It is a different type of cross to defend and the Madrid centre backs struggled.
United's young guns can cut it on the big stage
When this Manchester United team is criticized, the barbs concern the lack of a 'sleeves rolled-up' character, the absence of a Bryan Robson or a Roy Keane. It seems the squad are tired of hearing this.
The spine of the team was made up of young players with true grit. David de Gea's performance in goal has rightly been lauded, but the performance of Jonny Evans in front of him was just as good. The Northern Irishman has received stick on more than one occasion in the past, but he was unflappable in Spain.
Phil Jones and Welbeck also received special praise from the manager for their contributions. Both players were born and raised in the north west and fans take particular delight in local success stories.
United's best players were all under 25. Fergie's shrewd policy of constant squad reinvention is bearing fruit. He is on the verge of his fifth great side. Another staggering achievement in the long line of staggering achievements the Scot has already registered.
Rio Ferdinand has still got it
It wasn't the first time this season that Ferdinand played well and it wasn't the first time he did so without fuss. The years 2006-2010 were a masterclass in central defending but two years in an injury-ravaged wilderness left questions over Ferdinand.
It would seem that Ferdinand has quietly got on with the job of getting back to his best. This season he has played 20 league games and it is clear that Rafael, de Gea and others are calmer and more focused when he is on the field.
Why he isn't picked for the national side is a mystery. England's loss is Manchester United's gain.

Well, the first day come, they tryed to rise the price. I rejected very calm their request by saying that I prefere to go and pay another hotel more expensive that give them the money. After that, we have seen two anoying cats, one of them pee and poo on our beds, so we waited them to change the bed sheets. Beside helpful staff and peaceful place, nothing good.

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Noel K. Gallagher email@example.com
Staff Writer
This much is clear: After roughly a dozen years, the Jobs for Maine Graduates program at Maine's two juvenile detention centers has ended.
What's not so clear is why the program, which provides job training to at-risk youth, came to an end.
Representatives from both the Department of Corrections facilities and Jobs for Maine Graduates each say the other party chose not to continue the contract, which ended June 29. The two facilities are Long Creek Youth Development Center in South Portland and Mountain View Youth Development Center in Charleston.
"We had a strong relationship with JMG. JMG decided they didn't want to carry on with their contract. It was their decision not to renew. They had good programs and we appreciated their service," Mountain View Superintendent Jeff Morin said in a statement issued through a spokesman. The Department of Corrections last month signed a contract with Goodwill Industries for the same services.
But the head of Jobs for Maine Graduates, an Augusta-based nonprofit, said the Department of Corrections did not renew the contract because of budget issues and a change in leadership at the two facilities.
"It's definitely those two things," Jobs for Maine Graduates President and Chief Executive Officer Craig Larrabee said.
Each side has its version of events.
"There were some staffing issues raised with Jobs for Maine's Graduates after which JMG decided they and the Maine Department of Corrections were not a good fit. And JMG chose to part company," the department's director of special projects, Scott Fish, said in a written statement. Fish declined to elaborate on the specifics.
The juvenile detention programs are a small part of Jobs for Maine's Graduates' overall mission, which serves about 4,500 students a year from grades 6-12, in 71 programs throughout Maine, mostly at high schools.
The juvenile detention programs operate differently, Larrabee said, since the youths come and go according to their sentences, with some there for just a few weeks or months and others for years. Many are not allowed to leave to work.
But Larrabee said the curriculum is very similar to the school program and teaches them skills they'll need once they leave, such as how to write a resume, conduct a job search or handle a job interview.
"I think it's a shame that they killed the program," said Bill Linnell, who was the Jobs for Maine's Graduates program manager at Long Creek Youth Development Center in South Portland for three years before he left in 2012. "JMG was one of the strongest voices that advocated for the kids and is probably needed at Long Creek as much or more than at any other school in the state."
The Department of Corrections signed a contract on June 25 that turns the Long Creek job training program over to Goodwill Industries of Northern New England, which is being paid $66,000 a year, the same amount as Jobs for Maine's Graduates' most recent contract with Long Creek. The contract ends on June 30, 2014.
Fish said the department struck the one-year contract with Goodwill, instead of putting out a request for proposals in an open-bidding process, because of time constraints. The contract will be open to all bidders next year, according to the contract.
A section of the paperwork that asks why a sole bidding process is being used said, "There is no agency that (is) providing this service as comprehensively as Goodwill throughout the state and throughout the nation." Another section says: "It would take another contractor at least 3 months to hire staff, train staff, and get them in the field to provide job development and job training."

7 New Italian Restaurants to Try Right Now
3 comments :
I know that I am out of touch with the world but these restauranteurs seem to have forgotten the origins of the word "restaurant", a place to be refreshed. Not a single picture shows a table cloth or anything else that would absorb sound and I can only surmise that each of these eateries are deafeningly loud-hardly "restorative". Add to that the closeness of the tables, for those who actually get to sit down, instead of standing up and drinking like a horse in a barn, and no matter how good the food is, I wouldn't patronize any of these places unless I was with people with whom I didn't want to converse or linger with.ReplyDeleteReplies
absolutely correct..............Delete
An always favorite is Frank.ReplyDelete
This unassuming Italian joint is amazing, cheap, open late and has great specials.
